Cybathlon - Looks to be a very cool event

[David Lame]

I stumbled across this event the other day, and thought it might be of interest to many in the FIRST community.

The cybathlon, to be held Saturday, Otctober 8, features competitions involving powered prostheses and exoskeletons for handicapped competitors, as well as a brain-computer interface competition, in which competitors will play a video game where no input is allowed other than thoughts.

Some very cool stuff could come out of this.

For some of you students, take a glimpse at your future careers.

This looks fascinating! Their website says they'll be livestreaming it. Unfortunately, looks like it starts at midnight in my timezone, so I don't know how much I'll be able to watch.
